My husband is a boat hunter. He needs warm and durable. Are they intended to wear with an outer boot?
3828
yes. these have just a "bootie" foot - the wearer will need a boot to wear these.
3829
Yes IMHO. But, the outer boot has to be big enough to accommodate the thickness of the wader foot. And a protective sock, which should be worn to protect the wader foot from tearing. These waders are worn with a waterproof wader shoe when fishing & walking in water.

Yes, you need another boots to protect those waders. They are very fragile and not durable at all.

These boots definitely kept the water out for my purposes ( tide pooling on the rocky Northern California Coast). I had my doubts, but the combo of these boots plus some wool nearly-knee high socks, kept my normally cold feet warm and dry. One thing that I avoided was trying to enter pools of water that were taller than the boots. After adjusting/tightening the boots, I made sure the tallest body of water I entered was approximately the same height as the boots. I didn't have a problem with keeping dry because I kept that in mind. Hope that helps. Good luck in your adventures!

It will all depend on how sedentary you are. I wear these when I drift fish for steelhead in a boat for 10 hour+ days. The temps are usually 35F and below. I also wear a polartec beanie, balaclava, 3 other mid-layers, 3 pairs of smartwool socks and Baffin boots. If you will be actively moving about, this is not for you.

They are non-insulated but my husband loves them. He can wear big socks in them.

Just waterproof shell pants. You'll need a heavy layer underneath for winter

Darnell, are you looking for the correct air force/army use with the wool booties? Personnaly I don't use the military way. I order Sorel liners in place of the GI the wool booties over combat boots. I wear mens size 10 and use size medium N1B. My lady friend wears female size 9 and uses a small N1B. Hope this helps.

I think they would work either way. My boots fit snuggly and I've use them with lighter weight neoprene boots. So I think they would work fine with wader stocking only.

Sure, but your feet would get very cold. These are rubber rain boots and not lined.

I wore them hunting in 10 degrees with a pair of rocky boots and my feet were quite toasty, as for wearing them inside I do not know. Maybe you should also look at your foot ware also.

I think the boot shape might be an issue for these on snowboard boot. I have to still use chemical toe warmers but the combo is much more satisfactory that just the toe warmers alone. The boot glove is, for me, worthless with out the toe warmers, but with them I'm actually comfortable.

Patricia, you sure can. The best part about them is that they have the side zipper for easy on and off. Most wetsuit boots are just pull on and are a real pain. Understand though, that these are neoprene wetsuit material. They are thick and they do let the water in, as they are supposed to to help keep your feet warmer . The soles are nice and thick and "grippy" too. I have worn them on rocks , sand and slippery grass and they keep you pretty solidly on your feet.

Yes, that's what I use them on and they are excellent. Very warm (I rarely use my heaters) and waterproof.

These go inside of a pair of boots - I use Hodgeman felt bottom boots for traction. I use them for fishing in rivers on the Oregon coast in Fall and Winter and the water can be quite cold. They seem to be waterproof to me although we use them more for wading in and out of the water not standing thigh deep for hours at a time so I don't know about extended time under water.

No; this booty is strictly for warming the feet. You wear them over socks or bare feet. Most folks use put them on after spending a cold day outdoors. You can wear them outside but I wouldn't substitute them for good boots.

No, but I wear long, heavy socks when the weather gets cold. I've worn them in the cold right up until we got a lot of snow. They keep my feet very warm with socks, but I don't want to damage the plastic, so when it gets below 20 degrees, I resort to heavier boots. I love these boots. They have a great insole, fit the shape of the foot perfectly, and they look a lot nicer than other similar boots.

I believe they are only a 3mm bootie. Since I live in Hawaii - I don't need them for warmth, just for a great fit (tight enough to keep water from filling up the boot with a thin wetsuit. I lived most of my life in So. Cal and used this same thickness bootie for diving and boogie boarding. But for No. Calif - I would get a 5mm boot.

I would think so but they don't have much in the way of insulation. Unless you got a bigger size where you could wear thick socks I would think your feet would get cold.
